In 2023, Japan dominated the global export market of asbestos brake linings and pads, followed by Germany, and the United Kingdom. Significant year-on-year changes include an uptick in the United Kingdom and India, while the United States and the Czech Republic saw notable declines. Over the last five years, countries like Poland, Mexico, and China demonstrated positive growth, with Poland showing a consistent upward trend. Despite a decline in Sweden, Latvia and Tanzania showed considerable growth. Variability in smaller markets like Tanzania and Palestine highlighted regional fluctuations.
Future trends to watch include heightened environmental regulations, potentially disadvantaging countries reliant on asbestos exports, and a shift towards non-asbestos alternatives. Expect growth in markets upgrading vehicle safety standards and infrastructure.
